Amy says NO, no, no to a 3rd runway
Posted by tracy on 10 June 2008.
A few months back when Niall and Jason from Tellyjuice contacted us, they said they liked our videos on YouTube but thought we could be "well, um… funnier". I had to admit that we often forget to see the funny side of things surrounded by all this doom and gloom (did you hear about the bees on the Today programme this morning?!).
So we thought why can’t we campaign for a healthy planet and have some fun at the same time? So I got the guys into the office and briefed them on our climate campaign. They came back a couple weeks later with a few ideas and, while this was the most leftfield idea of the bunch, we thought it would be perfect for the Make a Noise carnival.
We’re hoping to see more of Amy in the future. Enjoy.

Third runway YES!!!

Stringing three identical words together is about all this pro-expansion loner can do. (Billy-no-mates even had to post two comments saying the same thing twice so that he looked like someone agreed with him!)
Let's face it, no one in their right mind would want to expand Heathrow. We can afford some humour in the campaign to highlight the insanity of the government's plans to increase flights while claiming to tackle climate change.
This video shows how the airport looms over Sipson - the NO
and the aerial photography was a brilliant idea. All those homes you see behind the NO (and many of those shown behind Amy at various points) are to be destroyed if Brown gets his way. The real people living in them face eviction - with no help, despite a housing shortage, to find anywhere else to live. That's not funny but it doesn't mean we can't use humour to wake people up.
(The banner at the end was put up weeks ago by Sipson residents who are sick of BAA, a Spanish company, dictating to the government because it thinks it can make money from our misery. Other local villages face a similar fate.)
I'm an Amy fan, she's welcome back anytime.
Heathrow airport should have
Heathrow airport should have been moved a long time ago like many other Airports had the sense to do. I also think BAA should be British owned by the Airports.
Agreement
I agree with you that a third Runway is needed to help the airport keep up with competitors.
